Abstract: Nowadays the working conditions or mission profiles of power electronics are becoming intensive and complicated in various applications. In order to ensure cost-effectiveness with more confidence on the safety and reliability performances, it is important to understand the loading and failure behaviors, as well as the limits of components/systems in practical use.

Under this scenario, the recreation of real-field loading and control behaviors for power electronics components and systems, are essential, and thus calling for more advanced testing and monitoring methodologies.

This talk targets to demonstrate the recent advances of mission profile emulation (MPE) as well as the online condition monitoring technologies in the field of power electronics.

The concept, challenges, new applications will be covered and discussed.
